Summary:                    imapd leaks sockets
Description: 
I'm currently using latest git dbmail with imap only, and I've noticed that
it refuses connections after few hours of working. lsof shows lots of open
sockets:

dbmail-im 24466     dbmail 1352u     sock                0,6          0t0 
  1917799 can't identify protocol
dbmail-im 24466     dbmail 1353u     sock                0,6          0t0 
  1917800 can't identify protocol
dbmail-im 24466     dbmail 1354u     sock                0,6          0t0 
  1917801 can't identify protocol
dbmail-im 24466     dbmail 1355u     sock                0,6          0t0 
  1917802 can't identify protocol
dbmail-im 24466     dbmail 1356u     sock                0,6          0t0 
  1917803 can't identify protocol
dbmail-im 24466     dbmail 1357u     sock                0,6          0t0 
  1917804 can't identify protocol
dbmail-im 24466     dbmail 1358u     sock                0,6          0t0 
  1917805 can't identify protocol

they are increasing in time leading to saturation of nofiles ulimit. This
problem applies to imapd, I could not reproduce this problem with pop3.
Typical clients connects with latest thundderbird, mostly from local LAN.
Increasing ulimit -n to 8192 allows enough leaks to last for whole day, so
now as a workaround I restart dbmail every night. I'm attaching munin graph
for:
lsof -ln -u dbmail | grep ^dbmail-im   | fgrep sock\  -c
during normal work hours.

I can confirm this. Looks like there is a thread-race in the imap code.
